News, observations and musings from the staff of the David A. Straz, Jr. Center for the Performing Arts

As most of you know (or at least I hope you do), Wicked is coming to The Center in January and February 2006. Stephanie J. Block is playing the role of Elphaba (the wicked witch). For those of you who don't know, Stephanie J. Block played Liza Minelli on Broadway opposite Hugh Jackman in The Boy From Oz. I was lucky enough to have caught this show on Broadway and what an amazing performer she is! I can't believe how lucky we are to have her touring in this production! You are all in for quite a treat.
